[travel] Gradual reconvergence
Jun. 11th, 2009 05:30 pmMy trip has been ordered in such a way that things get more and more similar to the San Francisco bay area as my trip comes to a close.
Compared to Cairo, Athens felt just like home.
Compared to Athens, Amsterdam felt just like home.
Compared to Amsterdam, London felt just like home.
Compared to London, Toronto felt just like home.
I gave myself the deepest culture shocks early on (Vietnam, India) and then gradually worked my way back to what is familiar. I'm merging back into traffic on the highway instead of just dropping into the middle of it and hitting the accelerator.
